OASIS

Oasis emerged from Manchester in the 1990s and came to typify a new generation of ambitious British bands - and spearheaded the Britpop movement. 

Centred around brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, Oasis landed their first UK Top 40 single with Supersonic in April 1994, then four months Live Forever would become their first Top 10 hit, and the first of a staggering 22 consecutive Top 10 singles for the band.

Oasis's first Number 1 single came courtesy of Some Might Say, toppling Take That's Back For Good to take pole position on the Official Singles Chart for one week between 30 April to 6 May 1995. 

They went on to become one of the most successful bands in history, Oasis's second album What's The Story Morning Glory is the fifth best-selling album of all time in the UK while follow-up project Be Here Now claims the fastest-selling album of all time after selling 696,000 copies in just three days in its first chart week.

Based on what kids listen to these days there will never be any band as good as oasis. Chart music is dire, 80s and 90s what an era for British music

As a 16 year old I'm proud to say Oasis are one of, if not my favourite band, and my most-listened overall by far. But yes, overall the music that those my age, younger (and older!) listen to is complete garbage, and the majority of the music currently in the UK charts is complete shizzle. #takebackthecharts

The last great rock 'n' roll band, 10 years since they split and things haven't been the same since. Whether another british rock band will have that same level of success as Oasis seems unlikely, it certainly hasn't happened this decade.

oh dear oh dear...the 1984 OASIS comprised of Mary Hopkin and Peter Skellern amongst others but certainly not the Gallagher brothers who would've been 12 and 17 at the time !
